TAINTED BY GOsCHEN.
Mr.. Goschen taunted Mr.. Gladstone
with MS alliance with the National
League. He asked him how he would
continue to meet the leagues constantly
increasing demands until an absolute
separation should be completed. Every
body but the allies Of the league consid-
cred the state of Ireland to be intolerable.
The government would be disgraced if 1t
refrained from frustrating the efforts OF
the enemies of existing laws and the op-
ponents of whatever remedial measures
the government might propose. He re-
GREETED the absence from Mr.. Gladstone's
speech OF any condemnation of Irish
crime or the violent language of Irish
agitators. The Liberal leader rather sug-
gested defense OF those crimes. The gov
ernment based their case upon the noto-
rious failure of the administration of
justice. Proper administration OF laws
constituted the safety of individuals, and
was the only true guarantee OF life and
liberty. Here he read extracts from a
judges charge on the difficulties attend
ing the administration OF the laws. lie
asked whether this evidence, though not
statistical, should be dlsregarded.
JURORS IN DANGER.
Was it not we'll known that jurors were
in danger of their lives? Were not 1ndi-
vidual jurors held up to odium by the
public press? He deplored Mr.. Glad
stones I'll quoque illusions to boycotting.
Such way OF treating crime would be
understood by ignorant people as justiti-
cation OF the crime. There were miseries
inflicted under bOycotting that were out
RACES upon civilization such as no gov
ernment should tolerate. MIR. Gladstone
had spoken OF the breach of trust. The
government also had a trust to which it
was their duty to be true-a trust that
had been placed in their hands by the
cOuntry-to restore the authority of the
Queen, respect for Judges and liberty OF
all classes of society. [Cheers.
GLADSTONE MAKES A HIT.
Mr.. Gladstone's speech is widely COM
mented upon as an effective exposure of
the feebieness of the governments
reasons for demanding coercion. The
strength of his reasoning is admitted by
the Conservatives, and is felt keenly by
the UnionisJ-LIberals, more of whom
threaten to secede unless the coercion
bill be reduced TO sImple provisions
against boycottng and the plan of cam
paign. The Conservatives already talk
OF dropping the proposals relating to the
transfer of jury trials, especially since
the Unionist papers in the provinces
declare them to be untenable. Mr..
Gladstone renewed his defiance of the
government to attempt to enforce closure.
The Gladstonians are confident that they
can delay the passage OF the bill until
May, and in the mean while are hopeful
that the evolution OF events will foil the
whole scheme. The whips on each side
have forbidden the members to be absent
during the holidays unless they are
pared. The Radical societies through
out the country are pass
ing resolutions against the coercion
bill, pronouncing 1T impolltic and
unjust.
The English Radical press denounces
the measure in language OF passionate
Indignation.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "such a
measure, subjectlng the nation, white
skinned, Christian and civilized, to arbl.
trary interference with the elementary
liberties and rights OF man, would justify
an lnsurrectiOn. 1t the Irish rose IN re-
volt they would have our hearty sympa-
thy and support. If they did not wish to
revolt against such system they would
deserve our infinite contempt"
sTRINGENCY FAVORABLE.
Michael Davitt, presiding at meeting
Of the National League at Dublin to-
night, said the very strlngeEcy of the
Baltour measure appeared To him TO be
favorable feature. He was not prepared
to say what it might be necessary Tor
Irish manhood to do when naked tyranny
reigned in Ireland. Under previous
Tory governments despots mad been made
to feel when they tried to crush liberty
that they themselves mad been crushed.
william O'Brien, editor of United Ire
land, said ne would not pretend to be
violently apprehenSlYe Of the future. The
Irish people had gone through trials be-
fore similar to those they would have to
endure should the proposed coercion law
be adopted. "When Baltour shall have
had experience in the results OF coercion"
SAID MIR. O'Brien, "he will lind plant
bed much more tolerable than the bed OF
Chief Secretary OF Ireland"
William OBrjen, editor of United Ire
land, 10 speech made at Dublin to-nigh ht,
said that II eylctions on Lord Lans-
d0wne's estate did not cease he and Mr..
KilDride, VINO was the principal tenant
on his lOrdship's Luggacurran estate,
aud who WAS recently evicted, would
visit Canada and begin an agitation with
view TO having Lord Lansdowne ousted
from the palace at Ottawa.
PARNELL APPEALS TO AMERICA.

Parnell:
HOUSE or COMMONS, LONDON, March 2S 1887,
70 lion. John Ens0erdtd, LincUin, Neb.:
. Tue coercion bill proposed tonight in the
House of Commons 10 the eighty seventh since
the act OF union, elghty-seven years ago. IL
is also most stringent, tyrannlcal and un-
ca lled for by the state OF affairs in Ireland.
never before has a coercion bill been proposed |
when crime was so rapidly decreasing
as compared with previous" years.
The measure is aimed against
all open agitation, and appears 10 be
expressly designed for driving discomfort be-
meath the surface. 1t places all public
speakers, writers and conductors of news
papers absolutely at the mercy of stipend ary
magistrates hoiuing their Office at the pleas
ure of the crown IL condemns the Irish
speaking peasant of rack rented Kerry to the
tender mercies of q packed jury of Orange
men or landlords. or 10 a jury Of Eng lshmen
NJ the Old Bttley in London. The Liberal
party. headed by Mr.. Gladstone, stands
as one man against this iniquiJous
measure, aud will light shoulder TO
shoulder with MS IN opposing IL TO the last.
IL seems impossible tO believe that even the
present House OF Commons Will continue 70
follow the Tory government IN their mad
course, and good judges consider that the
measure will break and ruin the Cabinet
We must, however, prepare for the worst,
and | confidently appeal TO the American
people for that sympathy and support which
they have never wiihhed from people
